Ontario law requires that freight brokers maintain a Trust Account that is separate from their operating bank accounts. All funds received from customers for freight shipments are to be deposited into the Trust Account, and all payments to carriers are to be made from that account.
The freight broker is prohibited from transferring any excess funds from a shipment transaction to its own operating account, after the carrier has been paid in full.
Copper Run adheres to this Trust Account provision of the law.
